' SEALED SOURCE-TYPE: Radiography Source DESCRIPTION:

The Model VXP capsule consists of Iridium-192 metallic pellets, contained'in a singly encapsulated aluminum 7075-T651, or-stainless steel 304, 316 enclosure. .The capsule cavity is sealed by insertion of a plug that is heliarc (TIG) welded to the main capsule body. The outside of the capsule is threaded for insertion inte a 7/16-20NF taped hole, and the end has a.1/16" (1.59 mm) screw: driver slot for inserting. The source is designed for use in the North American X-Ray Model VXR-F and the VXR-G Exposure-Devices. Loading of the exposure device should

-only be done at Gamma Industries.

' PROTOTYPE TESTING:

~These sources have a classification of E32212, as described in ANSI publications N5.10-1968. The manufacturer states that

prototype sources have met the test criteria specified in the

. ANSI document.

' QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL:

Each source assembly is visually inspected after fabrication, then subjected to a contamination wipe test. If the wipe test indicates contamination,Lthan a hot water bubble test will be performed.

LIMITATIONS AND/OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF USE:

.* The device shall be possessed and used by persons

specifically licensed by the NRC or an Agreement State.
  • Handling, storage, use, transfer, and disposal: To be determined by the licensing authority.
  • 'This registration sheet and the information contained within the references shall not be. changed without the written consent of the NRC.

-SEALED SOURCE TYPE: Radiography Source SAFETY-ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

The Model VXP source.is no longer-manufactured or distributed by

' Gamma Industries, Inc.4 and Gamma Industries, Inc. is ao longer in business. Therefore,' the registration. certificate is being converted to an inactive' registration ' certificate.

The source:was. originally. approve'd-for/ licensing purposes by the Louisiana Division of Radiation Control. NRC attempted to obtain copies of all_information submitted-by?the! registrant in-support l of the' evaluation. 'However, NRC could not' locate all the information. Therefore,.no* safety evaluation ~of the source was

performed as partLof the.. conversion of the certificate to sinactive status.
